FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to C-3 novel triterpenone with C-17 reverse amide derivatives and related compounds, compositions useful for therapeutic treatment of viral diseases and particularly HIV mediated diseases.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) has now been established as the causative agent of the Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) for over 20 years (Science 1983, 220,868-871; N.Eng.J.Med.1984, 311, 1292-1297). AIDS is characterized by the destruction of the immune system, particularly of CD4+T-cells. HIV is a retrovirus, and the HIV life cycle encompasses several crucial steps, starting from the attachment of the virus to the host cell membrane and finishing with the release of progeny virons from the cell.

The natural compound betulinic acid, isolated from Syzygium clavifolium and several other plant species was found to possess anti-HIV activity. Chemical modifications were undertaken by several research groups in an attempt to identify potent anti-HIV agents by making semi-synthetic analogs of betulinic acid, leading to the discovery of bevirimat as a compound with a novel mechanism of action (J. Nat. Prod. 199457(2):243-7; J. Med. Chem. 1996,39(5),1016). Further studies shown that bevirimat acts by disrupting Gag processing (Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 2003, 100(23):13555-60; Antimicrob. Agents. Chemother. 2001,45(4),1225-30; J. Virol. 2004,78(2): 922-9; J. Biol. Chem. 2005,280(51):42149-55; J. Virol. 2006,80(12): 5716-22) and to be a first-in-class maturation inhibitor with a potent activity against HIV-1. Bevirimat went up to phase 2 clinical trials, in clinic despite optimal plasma concentrations, not all patients given bevirimat have a robust viral load reduction. It was reported that non-respondant patients had more frequent base line Gag polymorphisms near the capsid SP-1 cleavage site than responders. (HIV gag polymorphism determines treatment response to bevirimat. XVII international HIV drug resistance work shop Jun. 10-14, 2008, Sitges, Spain).

Encouraged by these developments, medicinal chemists started exploring betulinic acid derivatives and related compounds intensively for their therapeutic activities. For example, WO 2014/093941 describes pharmaceutical compositions of betulin derivatives; WO 2009/082819 describes preparation of 17-amino lupane derivatives as anti-HIV agents; WO 2013/117137 describes lupane triterpenoids derivatives and pharmaceutical use thereof; WO 2013/020245 describes carbonyl derivatives of betulin; WO 2009/082818 describes preparation of C21-keto lupane derivatives for the treatment of HIV infections; WO 2011/100308 describes preparation of betulin derivatives for treatment of HIV-1; WO 2013/090664 describes preparation of betulin derivatives for the treatment of HIV; WO 2013/091144 describes preparation of propenoate derivatives of betulin useful for the treatment of HIV; WO 2013/090683 describes preparation of betulin propenoate derivatives for the treatment of HIV.

Given the fact of the world wide epidemic level of AIDS, there is a strong continued need for new effective drugs for treatment of HIV infected patients, disease conditions and/or disorders mediated by HIV by discovering new compounds with novel structures and/or mechanism of action(s).

The term “prodrug” denotes a derivative of a compound, which derivative, when administered to warm -blooded animals, e.g. humans, is converted into the compound (drug). The enzymatic and/or chemical hydrolytic cleavage of the compounds of the present invention occurs in such a manner that the proven drug form (parent carboxylic acid drug) is released, and the moiety or moieties split off remain nontoxic or are metabolized so that nontoxic metabolic products are produced. For example, a carboxylic acid group can be esterified, e.g., with a methyl group or ethyl group to yield an ester. When an ester is administered to a subject, the ester is cleaved, enzymatically or non-enzymatically, reductively, oxidatively, or hydrolytically, to reveal the anionic group. An anionic group can be esterified with moieties (e.g., acyloxymethyl esters) which are cleaved to reveal an intermediate compound which subsequently decomposes to yield the active compound. A discussion of the use of prodrugs is provided by T. Higuchi and W. Stella, “Pro-drugs as Novel Delivery Systems,” Vol. 14 of the A.C.S. Symposium Series, and in Bioreversible Carriers in Drug Design, ed. Edward B. Roche, American Pharmaceutical Association and Pergamon Press, 1987.

The term “treating” or “treatment” of a state, disease, disorder or condition includes:

(1) preventing or delaying the appearance of clinical symptoms of the state, disease, disorder or condition developing in a subject that may be afflicted with or predisposed to the state, disease, disorder or condition but does not yet experience or display clinical or subclinical symptoms of the state, disease, disorder or condition;

(2) inhibiting the state, disease, disorder or condition, i.e., arresting or reducing the development of the state, disease, disorder or condition or at least one clinical or subclinical symptom thereof; or

(3) relieving the state, disease, disorder or condition, i.e., causing regression of the state, disease, disorder or condition or at least one of its clinical or subclinical symptoms.

The benefit to a subject receiving treatment is either statistically significant or at least perceptible to the subject or to the physician.

The term “subject” includes mammals (especially humans) and other animals, such as domestic animals (e.g., household pets including cats and dogs) and non-domestic animals (such as wildlife).

A “therapeutically effective amount” means the amount of a compound that, when administered to a subject for treating a state, disease, disorder or condition, is sufficient to effect such treatment. The “therapeutically effective amount” will vary depending on the compound, the state, disease, disorder or condition and its severity and the age, weight, physical condition and responsiveness of the subject receiving treatment.

The compounds of the present invention may form salts. Non-limiting examples of pharmaceutically acceptable salts forming part of this invention include salts derived from inorganic bases salts of organic bases salts of chiral bases, salts of natural amino acids and salts of non-natural amino acids.

Methods of Screening

Antiviral HIV activity and cytotoxicity of compounds present invention can be measured in parallel by following the methods published in the literature.

The cytotoxic effect of compounds can be analyzed by measuring the proliferation of cells using the 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazlium bromide (MTT) staining. Cells (5×10³ cells/well) will be incubated in in 96 well plates in the presence or absence of compounds. At the end of treatment, 20 μl of MTT (5 mg/ml in PBS) will be added to each well and incubated for an additional 4 hours at 37° C. The purpleblue MTT formazan precipitate will be dissolved in a triplex reagent containing 10% SDS, 5% isobutanol and 10 mmol/lit HCl. The activity of mitochondria, reflecting cellular growth and viability, will be evaluated by measuring the optical density at 570 nm on micro titer plate.

Action of compounds on replication of HIV in Sup-Tl cells can be determined by the method published by Roda Rani et al., 2006 (Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, Volume 456, Issue 1, 1 Dec. 2006, Pages 79-92).

Briefly, 1×10⁶ Sup-Tl cells with 100% cell viability will be seeded in RPMI 1640, 0.1% FBS four 12 well plates. Increasing concentrations of Epap-1 peptides will be added to the cells and will be infected with HIV1 _(93 IN 101) each at final concentration of virus equivalent to 2 ng of p24 per ml. The infected cells will be incubated at 37° C. and 5% CO₂ incubator for 2 hours. After 2 hours the cells will be pelleted at 350 g for 10 minutes, supernatant will be discarded and cell will be held with RPMI 1640 containing 10% FBS.
